The Los Angeles Lakers got **** last night andthought they could beat a depleted OKC team without Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. They came back to reality. Have no fear, the tank is here&#33; Lost in the recent 3-game winning streak is Tarik Black and his streak of DNP&#039;s.

MVP: Jeremy Lin was tonight&#039;s MVP thanks in large part to his fourth quarter, where he put up an impressive 15 points in that final frame and kept the Lakers chances of winning alive. After three uneventful quarters of his, Lin turned it up a notch in that fourth quarter. LVP: Robert Sacre, ...2015-03-01 22:39:042/28: Dairyland Express- Milwaukee Bucks open West Coast trip with a thudhttp://dairylandexpress.com/2015/02/28/milwaukee-bucks-open-west-coast-trip-thud/
The Milwaukee Bucks have gotten it done with defense all season long. But in the fourth quarter at Staples Center Friday night, that defense abandoned them in a 101-93 loss to the moribund Los Angeles Lakers. With the loss, Milwaukee (32-26) missed an opportunity to move past the skidding Washing...2015-02-28 11:39:222/28: Sports Out West- 5 things we learned from Lakers&#8217; 101-93 over Buckshttp://www.sportsoutwest.com/2015/02/28/5-things-we-learned-from-lakers-101-93-over-bucks/
LOS ANGELES &#8211; The Los Angeles Lakers extended their win streak to three games on Friday night with a 101-93Â win over the Milwaukee Bucks. The Lakers entered the fourth quarter trailing 72-65, but things quickly turned in their favor in the fourth quarter with an offensive spark in the form of2015-02-28 08:35:502/28: Lake Show Life- Game Grades: Lakers Tank Implodes With Third Straight Winhttp://lakeshowlife.com/2015/02/27/game-grades-lakers-tank-implodes-third-straight-win/
MVP: It&#039;s Jordan Clarkson. And the fact that he didn&#039;t play a single minute in the fourth quarter is inexcusable. He&#039;s clearly a big piece of the Lakers&#039; future, so the decision to not play him down the stretch in a game he was dominating is unforgivable, especially for someone l2015-02-28 01:38:512/26: Purple and Blues- Utah Jazz Twitter Roundup: Lakers Game, Tibor Pleiss &amp; Coach Quinhttp://purpleandblues.com/2015/02/26/utah-jazz-twitter-roundup-lakers-game-tibor-pleiss-coach-quin/
Given the fact that the Utah Jazz fell to an inferior Los Angeles Lakers squad sans Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Julius Randle, Nick Young and Ronnie Price, one would expect that Jazz nation is in a surly mood this afternoon. In an effort to take the pulse of fans following the debacle, I took to Twitte2015-02-26 17:38:212/26: Lake Show Life- Game Grades: Lakers Put Together Back-To-Back Wins In Utahhttp://lakeshowlife.com/2015/02/25/game-grades-lakers-put-together-back-back-wins-utah/
MVP: On a night when the Lakers had just two point guards on the roster and couldn&#039;t afford a bad night from either, Jordan Clarkson played potentially his best game to-date in his career. He scored a career-high 22 points, but more importantly, in 34 minutes of action, he had just two turnove.2015-02-26 00:39:112/25: SLC Dunk- Utah Jazz should look to avoid trap game by Los Angeles Lakershttp://www.slcdunk.com/2015/2/25/8110835/los-angeles-lakers-utah-jazz-game-preview-kobe-bryant-trap-game

EnergySolutions Arena â¢ Salt Lake City, UT
7:00 p.m. (MT) â¢ TV: ROOT Sports â¢ Radio: 1280 AM / 97.5 FM

With consecutive victories over the Portland Trail Blazers and the defending champion San Antonio Spurs, it would seem that the Utah Jazz are on top of the world. Since returning from the All-Star break sans Enes Kanter, the team has posted a defensive rating of 85.5 and new starting center Rudy Gob2015-02-25 12:37:362/24: Lake Show Life- Ed Davis Continues to Shine For Los Angeles Lakershttp://lakeshowlife.com/2015/02/24/ed-davis-continues-shine/
When Ed Davis was an unrestricted free agent last summer, his first priority was finding a team that would allow him ample playing time to showcase his talent. The two previous seasons he had played behind Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph in Memphis, which meant he was only in the rotation 15 minutes a 2015-02-24 13:38:592/23: Lake Show Life- Game Grades: Jeremy Lin, Lakers hold on to beat Celticshttp://lakeshowlife.com/2015/02/22/game-grades-jeremy-lin-lakers-hold-beat-celtics/
MVP: There is only one person who can take home this award tonight, and it&#039;s Jeremy Lin. This might be the closest Lakers fans (and Lin fans) will get to Linsanity again as he completely controlled and dominated segments of the game tonight. But the reason he was so effective was because he was2015-02-23 01:38:272/21: Lake Show Life- Game Grades: Lakers Tank Rolls On Post All-Star Breakhttp://lakeshowlife.com/2015/02/20/game-grades-lakers-tank-rolls-post-star-break/
MVP: Prepare yourselves Lakers fans. Tonight&#039;s MVP is....Jeremy Lin&#33; See, I don&#039;t hate Lin&#33; Or I&#039;m just a flip-flopper. Or something. But regardless, his 18 points off the bench were at critical times and he was a big part of the fourth-quarter comeback.

After sitting back and watchingthe All-star game with little to cheer for, Laker fans just experienced the same thing with the trade deadline. Upwards of 37 players were involved in trades on the day of the deadline, the most in NBA history. The Lakers have been in the middle of trade rumors for the2015-02-20 11:39:482/19: Lake Show Life- Lakers Need Top Draft Choices To Become Contenders Againhttp://lakeshowlife.com/2015/02/18/lakers-need-top-draft-choices-become-contenders/
It is no secret that the NBA teams on top right now are the ones who in recent years made smart draft choices and key free agent acquisitions. It is the combination of both that makes for a contender. Certainly the Lakers will need to draft well and sign free agents in order to become relevant again2015-02-19 00:39:012/17: Lake Show Life- Los Angeles Lakers Mid-Season Grades: Tank-A-Thon!http://lakeshowlife.com/2015/02/17/los-angeles-lakers-mid-season-grades-tank-thon/
MVP: Kobe Bryant. Sorry folks, but those of you clamoring that the Lakers were better off without Bryant early in this season have been shut up. Since going down for the season, the Lakers are 1-9. In games he&#039;s missed, they&#039;re 3-15. Plain and simple, Bryant is (or was) the best player ...2015-02-17 10:42:482/12: Rip City Project- Portland Trail Blazers rout Los Angeles Lakers, 102-86http://ripcityproject.com/2015/02/11/portland-trail-blazers-rout-los-angeles-lakers-102-86/
In a game that wasn&#039;t even as close as the final score indicated, the Portland Trail Blazers went up on the Los Angeles Lakers and never looked back as they led the entire game to secure the 102-86 victory. Recap From the opening tip, the Trail Blazers looked like the better team. There is no..2015-02-12 02:38:282/12: Lake Show Life- Game Grades: Lakers Fall Flat On Face Heading Into Breakhttp://lakeshowlife.com/2015/02/11/game-grades-lakers-fall-flat-face-heading-break/
MVP: The fans. I know I&#039;ve given this award at least once before, but no one played like an MVP of anything tonight and if you watched the whole game, give yourself a pat on the back and a shot of your favorite alcoholic beverage. LVP: Carlos Boozer, who went 1-11 from the field in an impres...2015-02-12 01:38:502/11: Moxyball.com- DraftKings NBA Lineup Feb 11 | DraftKings NBA DFS Basketball Lineup Tips, Picks, Advice & Strategy for February 11http://www.moxyball.com/daily-fanduel-fantasy-football-basketball-hockey-baseball-picks-lineup/2015/02/11/draftkings-nba-lineup-feb-11-draftkings-nba-dfs-basketball-lineup-tips-picks-advice-strategy-february-11/
Last night was a bit of an odd one. Our lineup finished with 255.75 points but only managed to finish in the money in 17% of our entries. It turns out we were right on the edge of the payout zone, missing by 1-3 points in most cases but managing to by in the upper half in one of them. ...

MVP: Carlos Boozer continues to play un-tank-like, leading the Los Angeles Lakers with 21 points and 10 rebounds and initiating the offense much of the night from the high post. That statement is a sad reminder of the state of affairs in Los Angeles. LVP: Lakers point guards.

Feb 9thÂ was a difficult one for our lineup. Itâs awfully difficult to reach your projection when one of your biggest spends (Monta Ellis) happens to go down early on with an injury and miss their forecasted output by 30 points.

In last week&#039;s NBA Rookie Rankings, we looked at &#34;popcorn players&#34; and who stands out when the lights are the brightest. This week we will take a look at who the top rookies are, yes, but we will also look at where these players would be had they stayed with their respective colleges ..2015-02-09 09:37:472/9: Sir Charles In Charge- NBA Power Rankings: Grizzlies, Warriors and Hawks Are The Holy Trinityhttp://sircharlesincharge.com/2015/02/09/nba-power-rankings-grizzlies-warriors-hawks-holy-trinity/
In our latest edition of our NBA power rankings, we examine the NBA&#039;s holy trinity -- the Grizzlies, Hawks and Warriors In the NBA this season, there are the Golden State Warriors, the Atlanta Hawks, the Memphis Grizzlies and then everyone else. It&#039;s not even close.

MVP: The Lakers choices in first drafting Jordan Clarkson and then moving him into the starting lineup are looking better and better. Clarkson had an impressive slash of 20/6/4/3 and looks like the Lakers point guard going forward. LVP: Nick Young narrowly takes this award over Robert Sacre. To b...2015-02-08 19:38:232/7: Baller Mind Frame- Orlando Magic End 10-Game Losing Streak, Beat LA Lakers 103-97http://www.ballermindframe.com/2015/02/07/orlando-magic-end-10-game-losing-streak-beat-la-lakers-103-97/
One day after firing former head coach, Jacque Vaughn, the Orlando Magic set their sights on the Los Angeles Lakers. With James Borrego taking over the reigns, the Magic were able to get a big game from Tobias Harris and finally get a win against the Lakers. The Magic got off to an unsurprisingly ba2015-02-07 12:38:132/6: Lake Show Life- Who Should Be Leading The Los Angeles Lakers Tank?http://lakeshowlife.com/2015/02/06/leading-los-angeles-lakers-tank/
The Los Angeles Lakers are tanking. Simple statement followed by a simple question: Who should be leading them to the bottom of the NBA?

When Jordan Hill was recently injured, most Laker fans assumed Ed Davis would replace him in the starting line-up. Davis got to watch from the bench while Robert Sacre, Ryan Kelly, and Tarik Black all got the start against Milwaukee, even though Davis has more talent than Sacre and Kelly combined. .2015-02-05 19:39:152/5: Lake Show Life- Los Angeles Lakers Roundtable: NBA Trade Deadlinehttp://lakeshowlife.com/2015/02/05/los-angeles-lakers-roundtable-nba-trade-deadline/
With the trade deadline quickly approaching, we look at who the Los Angeles Lakers could be shopping and whether or not that player will be dealt. Will the Lakers trade Jordan Hill by the trade deadline? For what? Hannah Kulik - Many just assume Hill will be traded by the deadline since he is the ..2015-02-05 10:38:572/4: Lake Show Life- Game Grades: Lakers Tank Rolls On With Late Collapsehttp://lakeshowlife.com/2015/02/04/game-grades-lakers-tank-rolls-late-collapse/
MVP: I want to give this award to OJ Mayo (his three-pointer at the end of regulation tied the game) and Brandon Knight (his scoring barrage in OT won them the game), but since I doubt many Lakers&#039; fans would approve, we&#039;ll award it to Carlos Boozer, who put in a season-high 28 points toni2015-02-04 23:38:022/4: Lake Show Life- 2.6 Billion Reasons Why Winning Is Unimportant To The Lakershttp://lakeshowlife.com/2015/02/04/2-6-billion-reasons-winning-unimportant-lakers/

It&#039;s safe to assume that, at this point in the season, there is absolutely no option better for the Los Angeles Lakers than tanking. With Kobe Bryant out, there&#039;s no ego blocking them from losing and with their record already as bad as it is, there&#039;s no logic in &#34;fighting&#34; f..2015-02-03 14:38:182/1: Lake Show Life- Lakers Vs. Knicks: Carmelo Shines While Lin Struggleshttp://lakeshowlife.com/2015/02/01/lakers-vs-knicks-carmelo-shines-lin-struggles/
It doesn&#039;t get any worse than this. In a battle between arguably the two least talented teams in the NBA, the Lakers looked as bad as ever. A last second heave by Jordan Clarkson to end the game made the final score somewhat close, but this one was a blow-out. Against a bottom ten defensive tea2015-02-01 19:38:162/1: Lake Show Life- Game Grades: Knicks Thump Lakers In Madison Square Gardenhttp://lakeshowlife.com/2015/02/01/game-grades-knicks-thump-lakers-madison-square-garden/
MVP: The fans who watched this game. Go ahead. Stand up, pat yourself on the back, then go open a cold one. Because that was as awful a game as you&#039;ll see all year (or at least I hope so). LVP: Wayne Ellington gets the award this time around. After having played so well in the past few games...2015-02-01 17:38:192/1: House of Houston- Houston Rockets Redux: Week 14: 01/25/2015 - 02/01/2015http://houseofhouston.com/2015/02/01/houston-rockets-redux-week-14-01252015-02012015/
The Houston Rockets have gotten through Week 14 roughly unscathed. In the past 10 days, they&#039;ve only sustained one loss and that was to the Golden State Warriors Wednesday, Jan. 21. That&#039;s a pretty good track record if you ask me&#33; The Rockets continued to do the things that made t...2015-02-01 10:37:231/30: Lake Show Life- Game Grades: Lakers Snap Losing Streak In Double OT Thrillerhttp://lakeshowlife.com/2015/01/29/game-grades-lakers-snap-losing-streak-double-ot-thriller/
MVP: Jordan &#34;Mr. January&#34; Hill with the biggest clutch performance of his life. Just shy of a career high in points, clutch shots in both overtime periods, and the hands down MVP performance of the night. Special mention to Pau Gasol, who almost kept the Lakers tank alive with his tip-in a..2015-01-30 02:39:251/29: Slam Dunk Zone- Mitch Kupchak Steers Lakers To Make A Splash In Free Agencyhttp://slamdunkzone.com/2015/01/29/mitch-kupchak-steers-lakers-make-splash-free-agency/

We look at five candidates for the Lakers to trade for. The Los Angeles Lakers are a bad basketball team.

The Lakers season was over before it started thanks to our &#34;replacements&#34; roster. Nick Young is injured, Julius Randle and Kobe Bryant are out for the season and Steve Nash never showed up for work.

Perhaps the heights of Linsanity were too bizarre and the situation too perfect to recreate. An expectation-laden Knicks team struggling with injuries to Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire suddenly found hope in the undrafted guy from Harvard. Jeremy Lin got 35 games of pure, ridiculous excitement2015-01-28 09:36:411/28: Lake Show Life- Game Grades: Lakers Collapse To Wizards, Lose 9th Straight Gamehttp://lakeshowlife.com/2015/01/27/game-grades-lakers-collapse-wizards-lose-9th-straight-game/
MVP: While his fellow backcourt mate Jordan Clarkson challenged him for the honors, Wayne Ellington&#039;s career night makes him worthy of MVP of the night. His 28 points were a new career high and he was absolutely on fire in the first half. Even with the slow second half, the Lakers backcourt out2015-01-28 01:39:321/26: Sports Out West- 5 things we learned Lakers&#8217; 99-87 loss to Rocketshttp://www.sportsoutwest.com/2015/01/26/5-things-we-learned-lakers-99-87-loss-to-rockets/
LOS ANGELES &#8212; No Kobe Bryant. No Dwight Howard. No problem for the Houston Rockets on Sunday nightÂ as they sent the Los Angeles Lakers to their season-high eighth consecutive loss, 99-87.

As many have reported, Kobe BryantÂ will miss the rest of the 2014-2015 season with a torn rotator cuff. At this stage of his career, Bryant does not make much of an impact in the win-loss column for his team. Letâs be honest, the Lakers are in no shape to be a major factor in the [&#8230;]

The Los Angeles Lakers Lakers have a logjam at the power forward position. Jordan Hill, Ed Davis, and Tarik Black have been forced to play center this season because the Lakers only have one true center, Robert Sacre, which speaks for itself.

At the mid-point of the season the Lakers have posted a record of 12 wins and 29 losses. That is worse than the team&#8217;s record last year at this time, which, at the start of the season, seemed unimaginable. Last year&#8217;s team was decimated with injuries, had no Kobe Bryant, and Mike Dquo...2015-01-19 15:38:061/17: HoopsRumors- 2015/16 Salary Rankings: Centershttp://www.hoopsrumors.com/2015/01/201516-salary-rankings-centers.html

MVP: Kobe Bryant, who set a career-high in assists and looked as spry as he had in a LONG time. This was one of his best performances of the season, if not his best one. He went mano-y-mano against LeBron James late and kept the Lakers in the game late. LVP: Ronnie Price.

Yes, it was the preseason. Yes, it was just one game. Yes, it was in limited minutes. But for one night, the Lakers got what they imagined the Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash duo would be when they first were united.

Recently, new Los Angeles Lakers head coach Byron Scott said his team being underdogs this upcoming season will add &#34;fuel to fire&#34; as they begin the journey back to NBA relevancy.

Back in June, the Lakers made Kentucky forward, Julius Randle their 1st lottery draft pick since Andrew Bynum in 2005.

For the first time in a long time, the Lakers had a lottery pick this off season.

Consider it a myth or a fact, but the term sophomore slump is often tagged along with any player who struggles in the 2nd year.

Every team needs an identity. A calling card. Something to hang their hat on. The Los Angeles Lakers presumably will have Kobe Bryant, but relying too heavily on a star is prelude to disaster. This team will try to make their identity defense, and that is admirable.

The Utah Jazz have been one of the NBA&#039;s regular lottery teams over the last few seasons, but they have compiled quite a bit of talent heading into this season.

There&#8217;s a plethora of things to say that come to mind when mentioning Los Angeles Lakers guard Nick Young. He&#8217;s described as a chucker that only looks to get his own shots off the bench.

Though the Lakers roster for training camp is not 100percent set, it&#039;s clear that there will be some holes to fill on the squad, even when the team is set to tip off the season. From my perspective, the Lakers could do well to acquire a few players with NBA experience to the mix early on.
